5.2.3 Loading Software from an Ethernet Port Using TFTP

I. Introduction to TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer between clients
and servers. It uses UDP to provide unreliable data stream transfer service.
II. Loading Boot ROM
Step 1: Select an Ethernet port on the switch for loading and connect it to the PC where
the file to be downloaded is stored. (You must know PC's IP address). Besides, connect
the console port on the switch to an external PC. This PC can be the same one that
stores the file to be downloaded.
Step 2: Run the TFTP Server program on the PC connected to the Ethernet port, and
specify the path for program loading.
